Ooh yes please this sounds just what I need - I walk quite a lot - averaging 13-15k steps a day (although my Fitbit has just died so I need to sort that out to make sure I keep it up) but other than that I am totally sedentary and horribly lazy. I used to love exercise but since having my dd 3 years ago I just haven't got back into it - I tried running but my flat feet/weak ankle combo started hurting once I got to 20 mins solid running, and I have joined a gym but went a couple of times (back in Feb!) and just didn't have a plan so that fizzled out too! I need some motivation and a kick up the arse then! I think I'll spend the time until June getting some ideas of classes I'd like to try and working out a timetable for myself. I just want to feel fit and healthy again!

I'd like to give it a go please, I'll try for average 30 mins minimum a day, so may do more on some days and less on others. I need to keep it up and a kick up the backside is always useful ! I do a bit of jogging, swimming, walking and have recently started going to a spinning class at the gym ... 4 times so far ! I have put my name down for Pilates tomorrow, a new one for me. I also like cake and wine and sitting on my backside !

I'm in! I'll be running, walking and Pilates-ing. Anything else is a bonus.

I've been averaging 20k steps a day, running 3-4 times a week, Pilates half hour about twice a week for the past five weeks and have lost half a stone. I'm hoping for the same in June. A thread will be nice: I'm on a weight-loss thread but fear my reports of exercise are coming across a bit smug

I've just proved to myself how much I need junathon...I dragged myself round 3km and felt like lead for every step. I was doing a reasonably comfortable 8km a couple of times a week this time last year . I guess things can only get better.

I'm in. I really need to walk the dogs everyday but it's been more like every other day, I have been off work with depression so am trying not to give myself to hard a time. I want to do yoga, skipping and one of my exercise videos.

I'm in. I'll aim for 28 days out of 30, just to give myself a bit of margin for error as I'll be away for a long weekend. I'm in a good routine, but it's so hot here now (Hong Kong- 33 degrees with 80% humidity) and that just makes it harder as cuts out all "incidental" exercise. In winter I walk to work and back and can hit 8-10,000 steps just in the course of my day, but in summer unless you want to spend the day soaked in sweat, that can't happen.

I'd love to join. I think it'll be a mixture of classes at the gym and running for me. I've got a pretty good routine, like some others but it suffers in the school holidays. (usually use the crèche for my 2yo and go while my other 2 DC are at school) Good luck!

Oh that sounds great Hraf! I started off today with an hour of badminton, not sure what I'm going to fit in tomorrow. I'll either have to get up early and go for a run, or sit the kids in front of iPads and do a dvd. I always feel a bit guilty doing that though; it feels a bit wrong that I'm encouraging them to be sedentary while I'm being active. Oh well. Time spent on MN while they are climbing stuff at the park probably balances it out.

I started a day early with 20 minutes on the cross trainer and day 1 of yoga with Adrienne. I'd forgotten what it's like to enjoy moving and exercising - hopefully this thread will be a good motivator for me
